THIS WEEK’S GOLD COAST AND TWEED ESTUARY FISHING REPORT AND NEWS

28 October 2022

Dad joke:

TWEED RIVER by Smithy

G’day everyone it was another tricky week on the Tweed due to last weekends rain event. The upper catchment areas of the gold coast and tweed received over 200mm of rain in which quickly travelled downstream turning our rivers to mud.

Max nailed a few flatties on pontoon 21 crackjack lures

It was lucky that we had some good early morning run in tides that allowed me to fish close to the entrance of the river with some cleaner oceanic water. The species caught were flatties, bream, whiting and a couple of giant trevally with the best lures being pontoon 21 crackjacks and zx 40s.

GOLD COAST RIVERS by Clinto

The water is now clearing again after the big rain last weekend, but still dirty up the rivers especially on run out tides. You can see the colour changes along the Southport section of the broadwater.

Nice feed from the flats

The fishing has been tough with low air pressure and tricky big tides making the fish finicky. The last two days has seen an improvement though, we caught around 30 fish a day on lures and yabbies, with sand whiting, winter whiting, flathead, tarwhine, bream, moses perch, tailor, emperor, luderick, grunter included. 

Best areas have been Southport and Sovereign island, best lures Ecogear ZX40, Ecogear Breamer vibes, and Zman 2.5 ST Grubz in houdini and midnight oil colours.

There are a lot of flathead in the shallows

I’m looking forward to next week with better tides to chase big sand whiting and flathead in the shallows. The estuary water is finally and suddenly warming up. After being stuck on 22 degrees for seemingly ages it is now climbing to 24 in places.

We are getting fully booked for weeks ahead, my next available charter dates are 8, 11, 14, next Saturday available is 3 December.
